I bought a product from Photonlight in 2002, and have been on their mailing list ever since. I last received something from them on 30th December 2009. Alas, now I’m also receiving spam to the address previously only known to them.
This email was sent to an address I know the spammers have (it is listed on the Debian Consultants page). It is almost identical to several other spams I have been receiving to what I had considered to be private, unique addresses.
Sorry, macheist.com, but if you can’t keep my email address private, I don’t want to hear from you any more.

I give unique addresses to each web site or service I sign up to. Bloomsbury became the latest in a long string to pass on or leak my email address to spammers:
